ODE TO THE APOSTROPHE

(An acrostic poem)


By Josie Whitehead

Ode to the Apostrophe

A    A poor and oft forgotten friend

​

P    Put on this earth, but to what end?

​

O    Oft despised and viewed with scorn

​

S     So little loved, we soon might mourn.

​

T     To you who look condemned to die

​

R     Rise up and fight – don't sit and cry.

​

O      Oblivious of your situation,

​

P       People just need education.

​

H      Here's hoping we don't say farewell -

​

E       End his abuse and wish him well.

 

       Oh  - And from an early age, may we

 

 Learn to love the apostrophe!
